He was a gun-totin’, miracle workin’, fire and brimstone preacher who went to battle with Satan daily from his pulpit—until he had his first taste of sin.

Whip Larsen is a gun-totin’, fire and brimstone preacher who carries a Bible in one hand and a load of miracles in the other. He’s not the usual mild-mannered reverend. He’s a double-fisted shooter who stands tall in the pulpit. But after the tragedy of his wife’s death, this man of God closes down his tent and becomes an expert gunman with the evil intent to go looking for the face that is burned into his memory.
One night, while in a saloon drinking, he finds himself face-to-face with a cowboy who takes his mind off his deadly plan, and makes him burn with lust. An invitation into the man’s bed leads to an affair, but the familiarity of this man’s face haunts him. Where has he seen it before? Was it among the faces in his congregation, a face he’d seen at the bottom of countless whiskey bottles—or was it behind the smoking gun that killed his wife?
